Average
fans may not recognize Jeremy Bulloch’s face, but put on a familiar helmet
and jet pack and Jeremy is suddenly transformed into one of the most
beloved film villains of all time, not to mention one of the most iconic
figures in science fiction history – bounty hunter Boba Fett from George
Lucas’ legendary Star Wars Saga. Cold, emotionless and ruthless,
Boba Fett is a man of few words, but whose screen presence has gained him
one of the biggest cult followings then any character from science
fiction’s long history. He takes down Han Solo, talks down to Darth Vadar
and even can survive a Sarlacc pit. Novels, comic books and fan clubs
have been dedicated solely to Boba Fett, who originally was intended to
just be a small bit part. Yet, due to marketing and fan interest, Boba
Fett, in the fashion of other pop culture icons such as Fonzie, Erik
Estrada and Steve Urkle, became one of the unexpected break out super
stars of the pop culture universe. However, while the world loves the
enigmatic Boba Fett, the actor behind the mask rarely gets recognized.
In
August 2008 I had the great pleasure to meet Jeremy Bulloch and his lovely
wife Maureen at a Toronto convention. However, having to catch a train, I
had little time to talk with the Bullochs, but Jeremy and I made
arrangements to do an interview by telephone later in the fall after his
return from a science fiction convention in Costa Rica. This gave me time
to research Jeremy’s career where I quickly realized that there was no way
I was going to be able to fit the whole thing into one interview. There
was just so much. Professionally acting as early as the age of twelve,
Jeremy Bulloch has had a long and colorful career which is far richer then
just his small appearance in Star Wars. From pop stars to puppets,
Jeremy Bulloch has done it all. He has appeared on stage, on television
and in films with many of the greatest actors of all time, as well as
appeared in timeless projects that have become part of our pop culture
heritage. However, because of that blasted Boba Fett helmet that hides
his face, none of us have been able to recognize him. Yet while he may be
always remembered for his unique contribution to the Star Wars
franchise, what many fans may be surprised to know is that Jeremy also
worked in a number of other popular sci-fi/fantasy franchises as well,
including Doctor Who, James Bond and Robin of Sherwood.
Jeremy Bulloch is truly more then just Boba Fett.
In
reality, Jeremy Bulloch could be the exact opposite of Boba Fett. He is
an open, friendly and dignified British gentleman whose story on the pop
culture journey is a living chronicle of the working actor. From child
actor to character actor, Jeremy has had a career that has spanned six
decades. However Jeremy is not just an actor. Father of three sons and
grandfather to nine grandchildren, Jeremy is very much a family man, as
well as an athlete and even a collector, admitting that over the years he
has collected a massive selection of Boba Fett products. But that’s part
of the charm of Jeremy Bulloch. While he is a very intelligent and proper
professional, upon discussing the franchises he has worked in, Jeremy
Bulloch can geek it up with the best of us. He knows the history of the
programs and movies, and can give expert opinions on the past and present
of these series even long before and after his involvement. There is just
a little bit of a fan in Jeremy Bulloch as well, which makes him even more
engaging to talk with.
So come and listen
to Jeremy Bulloch tell the story of his career, and as we talk about some
of his experiences in some of the most successful franchises of all time
as
CONFESSIONS OF A POP
CULTURE ADDICT PRESENTS
BEYOND BOBA FETT:
A
CONVERSATION WITH JEREMY BULLOCH
I talked to Jeremy
Bulloch via telephone in September 2008 from his home in London,
England.
Sam:
Here in North America you are best known for playing Boba Fett, but when I
was looking over your acting credits, you’ve actually had a long and
successful career that has spanned decades. How did you first get into
the acting business?
Jeremy Bulloch:
Well I was going to take a sport scholarship. If I passed an exam when I
was eleven years old I would have gone to sports college because I was a
promising ruby player, as well as soccer. But I failed the exam, and once
I failed the exam it stopped the scholarship. So within about two months
I was in drama school, through my godmother, mainly, telling my mother “He
likes singing, he likes acting, he likes doing this” so completely out of
the blue I was in drama school a few months after failing that exam.
Sam: In retrospect,
what would you have rather done? Rugby
or drama?
Jeremy: Well I
managed to do both, but the biggest problem with rugby is that you can get
hit pretty hard so if you have to worry about what you look like rugby is
not a good game to play. So I went on to soccer and cricket, and I also
love golf, but I don’t get enough time to play. So I carried on with
sports, but your not really supposed to play [rugby] if your under
contract because if you break a leg. But when [you are] twenty you don’t
think about that, so I carried on playing [rugby] as well as starting an
acting career.
Sam: You started
acting as a child. You were a child actor.
Jeremy: Yes Twelve
years old.
Sam: Well here in
North America we always hear about child actors going bad and burning out
and become troublesome, but that doesn’t seem to be as common in Europe.
Is there a difference in the training of child actors between North
America and England?
Jeremy: It’s
funny. I don’t think of myself as being a child actor because I always
thought I was an actor. I always looked forward to the next job. When I
was much younger we had a chapero ne.
A lady who made sure we got there on time and that we behaved. So
the discipline I had when I was young, because I worked with some of the
toughest directors, was if you were a minute late you were off. You’re
out of the picture. You’re not going to work. And if you get a
reputation for being late you don’t work again. Where as today, sadly, it
does happen that when people are late [they say] “Oh sorry. I had this
big gig last night" but the get left off. I’ve worked on some productions
where people have arrived late, and if that had happened when I was young
they would have said “Alright. You’re gone. Bye bye” and would have
gotten someone else. It costs money and it just upsets me. People got to
have the discipline and that’s one of the big things when I did theatre
and went all over the country. You had to be on time, you had to do this
and had to do that and it was quite strict. But you still enjoyed it.
You still had a bit of a loose reign. But getting back to your point,
which was a good point, I just considered myself an actor and I never
thought about how long I would last. In my twenties would I still be
working? I’m still working and I expect to work. When I go for an
interview you have a certain amount of confidence and you got to say if I
don’t get it, well shrug your shoulders, there’s always the next time.
You never say “This is it. I’m now sixty three and no ones going to
employ me.” The parts are there just as much as they were when I was
thirty. We know that. I knew that when I was very young. But you can’t
expect to play the handsome detective who is thirty years old when you’re
sixty three. I’m very lucky that I have a strong family, so it keeps your
feet on your ground. When [I wasn't] working I used to do odd jobs.
Waiting tables and painting people’s houses because you have to do that.
There’s no point in being proud and saying “I don’t do that. I’m an
actor.” Get on and do it. A lot of actors do that, and especially in
North America, when you go to a restaurant a lot of actors are working
there. You can tell. They are actors performing, doing a job.
Sam: Now a lot of
your early films are not available on DVD.
Jeremy: They are
probably old black and whites.
S am:
They most likely are. What was your first film, or when was a turning
point in your career as an actor?
Jeremy: I did a lot
of kid’s series. I did a comedy series called Billy Bunter, which
was a famous schoolboy. Big and fat and used to eat jam donuts and we
used to make fun of him. That was on television every Saturday
afternoon. At five o’clock kids would be in and they’d watch this funny
school thing. I did lot of commercials as a boy, playing the cheeky red
head, as I was. And then finally I got this film called The Devil's
Agent which was a German production. Christopher Lee was in it. And
when I last saw him I reminded him of that production. He said “My word I
remember that production. That was long ago.” That one was interesting
because I
was
playing a German boy, and Peter Van Eyck and Marianne Koch, who were well
known German actors at the time, were my mother and father, so I was
learning very early on what the whole business was, and then I went on to
a musical called Play It Cool, with a pop star called Billy Fury,
who was well known here in the 60s. A year and a half later I went into
another musical called Summer Holiday with Cliff Richards. Now Sir
Cliff Richards. He was terrific as well. What was lovely was early on
you were mixing with pop stars and I was a young boy on the red Lo ndon
bus and it’s a film that is shown every bank holiday. It’s a fun film.
Perhaps it’s a little bit dated now. But the song is well known from the
60’s.
Sam: I haven't seen
it, but I know the song Summer Holiday.
Jeremy: Everybody
knows it. But what was funny was that in Summer Holiday, although
I was the veteran actor because I had done television, I was also the
youngest member of the cast.
Sam: So Summer
Holiday came out in ’63?
Jeremy: We filmed
it in ’62 but it was shown in ’63.
Sam: Now a lot of
Star Wars fans probably don’t realize it, but long before you did
the Star Wars movies you were in another one of the biggest sci-fi
franchises of all time, not to mention my personal favorite, Doctor Who. That started in ’63 and I
know you did one of the early William Hartnell episodes.
Jeremy:
That was in ’64 with William Hartnell. It was in The Space Museum
and it was in black and white. When I looked at it the other day it, once
again, was so dated but William Hartnell was a good Doctor Who. When I
was working with him he would explain [things] to me. I’ve worked a lot
with elder actors. I can say that now as an elder actor, but he would say
“Now pay attention. Watch what I do, son. I’ve been an actor a long
time. Watch what I do and you might learn something.” So you had all
that to put up with but he was getting on a bit and was quite crotchety
but he had this enormous experience so I said “Certainly Mr. Hartnell.”
You didn’t call him Bill. So I said “Certainly Mr. Hartnell I will
watch.” And he’d say “So when you grab a hold of me remember it’s
pretend. Don’t jump all over me. It’s pretend. Okay? See what you can
do about pretend. Don’t whack me in the back or anything.” I said “No,
I certainly won’t.” So as well as being directed by the director, I was
being directed by William Hartnell. The g ood
thing is, when we finally finished the last scene, he said “You watched
and listened, didn’t you son? Well done!” So that was his way of saying
“I gave you good advice, so let’s hope you take it on from there.”
Sam: Did you find
him to be difficult?
Jeremy: Yeah, he
was a bit difficult but, you know, you’d go in and rehearse everything and
then you’d grab him and he’d go “Remember it’s pretend” and I’d want to
say “Yes, of course. I’m hardly touching you. Don’t worry” but with his
experience and his age you used to go with it. But he was fine with me
and in the end he had a wink and said “Well done. Well done.”
Sam: And years
later you did a Doctor Who series with Jon Pertwee where you had a
much larger part as Hal the Archer.
Jeremy: Yes.
The Time Warrior. A much bigger part, and there was talk of me
getting on board the TARDIS.
Sam:
Oh really?
Jeremy: Yes. As we
were filming the episodes of The Time Warrior they kept saying “We
don’t know Jeremy. Are you free in two weeks time?” And I said “Well,
yes, I think I am.” And they said “Oh no no. It’s nothing. It’s just
that we may.” And it was already there, because it was Sarah Jane
Smith…Liz Sladen’s…first episode and I would become the male companion and
go aboard because it was getting a bit dangerous out there with all the
battles going on. So, there was a possibility that I may have been going
on. Funny thing is, just recently I’ve done the audio book of The Time
Warrior, and I do all the voices, so that should be coming out soon.
Sam:
What was working with Jon Pertwee like?
Jeremy: Jon Pertwee
was just a hoot. It was very difficult to keep a straight face. You were
going “Oh I don’t want to do this scene again. He’s going to start
laughing again.” He was a charming man and is much missed. Everyone has
their favorite Doctor, like Patrick Troughton. I knew him from working
years and years ago with him. He was quite good. William Hartnell in his
way was quite good, and all the Doctors brought something to it.
Sam: Have you seen
the new Doctor Who series?
Jeremy:
Yes I have and you can see they have spent money on it and it does look
terrific. I do like it. I haven't watched every single episode, but you
can catch up with repeats here. But it is very good and Chris Eccleston
was very good, but I prefer David Tennant. The sets are quite good and
the stories are quite good and it was a gamble to redo it again, but now
everyone can’t wait for it to come back. Maybe I’ll get the chance to
appear in it.
Sam: So you were
also in a soap opera as well.
Jeremy: A soap
opera called The Newcomers in the 60’s.
Sam: There doesn’t
seem to be much out there on it because most of it was whipped out by the
BBC.
Jeremy: Yeah. Well
it was in black and white, just before color started in the UK. It was a
very popular series for four years. I came out of it after three years
because I decided that I had to move because you knew it was going to
end. And so by coming out, instead of today when you can go from one show
and straight into another, I came out and that was it. I couldn’t work
for the BBC for a while, so I went straight into a theatre tour to sort of
lose myself in a way before coming back into television.
Sam:
How long were you away from television?
Jeremy: About
sixteen or seventeen months. You knew, because I can walk down the street
and. I mean, nobody here knows I was Boba Fett because I don’t walk down
the street in the helmet, but in those days I could go down the street and
they’d go “Oh, hello Phillip! How are you?” They’d call me Phillip
because that was my character’s name. So I’d go on the metro and people
would be pointing and nudging and it was a very strange. It’s never
really happened since that people would be pointing at me and saying
“Look. It’s that guy in The Newcomers.” I mean, it is nice to
have that recognition but after a while it was [trying]. I get sort of
embarrassed about being recognized. That doesn’t happen much now.
Sam: Another film
that you did that has become a real cult favorite over the last couple of
years was O Lucky Man! with Malcolm McDowell.
Jeremy:
The part I played there was the young man and you see me in three pieces,
so I was Malcolm McDowell’s alter ego. So you see me driving the car into
that fog and smashing it up, you see me in the hospital with my head
transplanted on a pig’s body and then you see me at the end as the
sandwich board man turning around saying “Try your luck.” So I was really
the alter ego of Malcolm McDowell. Lindsay Anderson is a wonderful
director to work with and I worked with him a couple of times. That was
great fun.
Sam: Now in the
70’s you traveled to Asia and did
The Sadrina Project. Can you tell me a bit about what that was?
Jeremy: It was
quite weird. It was the beginning of January, 1977 and I went to meet
these people and they said “We’re looking at you because you look very
English. You look like a student. This is a program. It’s strange.
It’s not really a thriller, although it is, but it’s about someone who is
a travel agent and we’re looking at you for this.” And I went to
Singapore Airlines, where we had the interview because it was going to be
filmed in Singapore and around the Far East.
So I recorded something and they watched it and asked “Would you come to
the India Club,” which was in the West End and we sat down and had an
Indian meal and I met the people from Singapore and before I knew it I was
signed up for seven months to go out to the Far East to teach the Chinese
and Malaysian population English, and to have a g ood
solid story about me being chased around the Far East. But the difference
was, instead of it being a thriller; I would be coming up and saying
“Good...Morning...My…Name…Is…David….Foster….I….Believe…You…Have…A...Room.”
So it was all spoken very slowly so people could get the idea of how to
speak in English. But I had to leave behind my wife and two young boys
and that was very difficult, but I had to and I’m glad I did it in the
end.
Sam: Now just
before you did Star Wars you did a wonderful comedy series called
Agony where you played one half of a gay couple.
Jeremy: Yeah. That
was in 1979. I was just finishing it off when I went straight into The
Empire Strikes Back. It was wonderful because I went through the
interviews and then finally I was told I got it. It took all afternoon.
We had to read and then the BBC had to see if I matched up. Did I look
right because I was playing a gay character. There was all this
discussion, but I was glad I got it because it was a funny series, and we
did three series. They sold the idea to America but it didn’t really work
so in the end the series filmed in England was shown in America.
Sam: Well what I
found interesting was that the gay couple in Agony is portrayed as
being very “butch” which was such a departure from what Br itish
comedy was portraying gay characters at that time. Most comedies would
portray their gay characters to be more flamboyant, like John Inman might
do.
Jeremy: Well it
would have been easy to do that. It would be easy to camp it up. But
there was one scene where Peter Denyer and I were talking at a party and
we both could read each others minds, where we were having a couple of
drinks so we both became a little bit camper because we were losing our
inhibitions. So instead of playing straight gays and act like normal
people, we started to let our hair down and let people notice that we were
more camp. Funny enough, what a lot of gay people told me that, while we
had problems, it was the heterosexual people that seem to have more
problems then we did. It worked out very well and was a very enjoyable
series to do.
Sam: Well I think
the series is interesting, because it is written more like a modern HBO or
Showtime series. It was really before it’s time.
Jeremy: Well your
right. It was shown at 10:15 in the evening here, because it was a little
bit risqué.
Sam:
And I think a lot of fans would be surprised that you were being
recognized as a gay character when you were cast as Boba Fett.
Jeremy: Yeah. I
know. Well people were saying “Oh, I saw you last night on Agony.
What a fabulous series” when I went up for the interview for Boba Fett,
which was not really an interview. It was just getting dressed up in a
costume and they said “That looks great. It’ll be two or three days
Jeremy, but welcome aboard.”
Sam: Well I mean,
how do you audition for Boba Fett?
Jeremy:
Well my half brother, Robert Watts, was the associate producer on the
Star Wars films and he said to me “Oh, you ought to get your agent on
to this. I don’t believe in nepotism but get your agent on this because
there’s a few parts for these bounty hunters and there is this one
character called Boba Fett. It’s a couple of days. It’s not much work
but it might be quite fun." And I was working in the theatre in the
evening so I thought they might not use me because it might be difficult,
but in the end it worked out really well and they said welcome aboard.
And I didn’t know why they weren’t asking me to read, but then, of course,
I realized there were only four or five lines. But, I look back on that
and it’s the one [part] everyone reminds me of. I’m probably better known
for covering my face instead of fifty years as an actor. But I don’t
mind. There is no sense in saying “Now I’m doing Shakespeare,” or “Now
I’m doing King Lear.” Yes, we’ve all done that but I’m very proud
of the whole Star W ars
Saga. I had a great time and it’s great to be able to relate stories to
people now if you’re invited to certain events around the world.
Sam: So there is no
resentment for Boba Fett being your most famous character.
Jeremy: My boys
will come to me and say “So you are just coming back from where?” and
I’ve just come back from Costa Rica and talked to the people out there and
they just love the character. In a way it’s very lucky for me
because the general public will know Darth Vadar, C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca,
Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Sywalker and Yoda. They will know instantly
when somebody mentions them. But, the non-real Star Wars fan will go
“Hmmm. Boba Fett. Which was that one?” And fans will go “Well he had a
jet pack” and they’ll say “Oh yes! That one! Yes!” So Boba Fett is
still on the list, but amongst the real fans he’s a favorite.
Sam: What do you
think the endearing quality of Boba Fett is?
Jeremy:
I think he’s a loner. I think he does his job very well. If he was going
to shoot you he would tell you first so you have a chance. He’s very fair
and I think somewhere down the line he must have worked with Han Solo.
He’d have to. They were probably not friends but they would have worked
together as pilots or engineers because we never really know. So
something’s happen between that we’ll probably never know about. There
are plenty of books and comics. But he answers Darth Vadar badly,
which is a good thing. And not many people get away with saying to Darth
Vadar “Well, watch me.” He’s a dangerous character. He’s very
cool a nd
that’s why the kids and the thirty five year olds love the character.
Sam:
Now when you did Boba Fett, you obviously didn’t know that he’d become the
phenomena that he became.
Jeremy: No. Not at
all. But suddenly, and especially over the last ten years, or a bit
longer, letters come in daily and I do try to answer as many as I can.
Some people get silly and say “I want fifty signed photographs of you.
I’ve got lots of grandchildren.” So, it’s just incredible that lots of
people are wondering why he is so popular and I really don’t know. There
is something about that whole outfit and the way that he deals with
himself and other people that people respect and like. It’s quite
amazing.
Sam:
What did you think of the back-story that George Lucas gave Boba Fett in
the prequels?
Jeremy: I think
it’s terrific. Originally I would say “I think its wonderful playing Boba
Fett but I don’t think anyone should ever see his face. Something’s
happened to him and nobody should ever see his face.” But now that the
back-story has come along it’s good because more and more people know
about Boba Fett. People who may have never been interested before know
his back story, that he is a clone. For years I was telling people that
he was a human being but now I have had to change that. It’s been
enormous fun, as long as you don’t take it too seriously. Well, when I
say that, that’s silly. I’ve collected a lot of Boba Fett toys and things
like that but that’s quite fun. You have the guys that do things for
charity, that dress up like Storm Troopers and Darth Vader, but wherever
you are in the world they come up and welcome you. The fans are just
amazing.
Sam:
Well another major franchise you were doing around the same time that you
were doing Star Wars was James Bond, where you had a reoccurring
role playing Q’s assistant Smithers.
Jeremy: Yes. [I
was in] Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only and The Spy Who
Loved Me, where I was right in the beginning of the film on the
submarine. I don’t know what happened, but I wasn’t playing Smithers.
But they got me in to do the opening scene. It looked like [Smithers] was
going to be a running cameo r ole
and when they would come into the laboratory of Q then Bond would say “Hi
Smithers” [and I’d say] “Hi Bond” and then you’d show whatever the
explosion is and Bond would say “Smashing.” It was sort of brief.
Sam: But it’s a
cute bit.
Jeremy: It’s huge
fun. Its a little cameo. I did three the films with Roger Moore,
and he is just the best. He is just the nicest man in the world. He’d
just laugh and giggle and say “Hi.
How
are you? Goodness gracious, your not back again, are you?” and silly
sort of jokes like that.
Sam: Well when you
watch a Roger Moore Bond film he looks like he’s having fun, which is what
is different from all the other Bond films.
Jeremy: Yeah. In
their own way I like all the Bonds and when you see Daniel Craig, who’s
excellent, he’s the one Bond who you think he could actually take this guy
out. It takes it to another dimension. Sadly they are not doing the
laboratory scenes anymore. Tim Dalton, who I’ve worked with, was a very
good Bond. More of a serious Bond. Piece Brosnan kind of grows on you.
He grew on me, and I thought he did a great job. Connery, of course, was
the first, and I think fantastic. But Roger Moore just had the twinkle in
his eye. The slight giggle. If a Bond film comes up on a rainy Sunday
and nothing is happening here I’ll just sit and watch it again. I might
have seen it six months ago but it is still to me all new and
entertaining.
Sam:
Of course, another series you were famous for around that time was when
you played Edward of Whickham in Robin of Sherwood.
Jeremy: In
Robin of Sherwood, again, I was originally doing one episode and they
started writing me into more episodes each time. They still show it on
one of the satellite channels, and they have a new Robin of Sherwood
out which is okay, but not because I’m not in it, but I just don’t think
it matches what the original series did.
Sam: Now when you
were doing Robin of Sherwood your son got involved in one of the
episodes.
Jeremy:
Yes. [They said] “Is any of your young sons ideal for playing the young
Matthew of Whickham” and I said, “Oh yes. Robbie.” Because Robbie did a
film a film with Daniel Craig and Morgan Freeman called The Power of
One and I thought that it looked like he was going to turn to acting.
But now he works for the foreign office so he’s got a very good job. And
I’m glad. Christian, my oldest one, did a bit of acting [as well]
but I’m glad that they didn’t carry on with it because it is a nasty
profession.
Sam: Why is that?
Jeremy: Well, it’s
enjoyable but it can be nasty. People are saying “Oh, I’m not working.
Oh, I don’t know what’s going to happen now. I don’t know what to do.”
Certain people are not right to go into the acting thing because when it
all starts to crumble; they don’t know how to deal with it. I’m not
saying that about either of my boys. They could have dealt with it, but
I’m glad that they got more sensible jobs.
Sam: Now you’ve
done a lot of British television, but I was surprised to see that you’ve
done a few American series. Is there a big difference between doing a
British television series and doing an American one?
Jeremy:
Well yes, I think there is. I’m a huge fan of Frasier and that’s
one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, and we have some wonderful
comedy here [in the UK]. Years ago there used to be some wonderful comedy
shows, and there are still some good ones, but it’s not like it used to be
in the 70’s. But the American’s seem to get the idea from the English and
then do their own version. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but The Office
did work really well.
Sam: Now you’ve
worked with a lot of incredible people. Who are the folks who really
stand out in your mind as the favorites from your career?
Jeremy: I think
people like Sir Alec Guiness. I actually auditioned with him for a play
that I didn’t get, but he was so lovely and helpful. Cyril Cussack, an
Irish actor. A wonderful actor. Roger Moore, because he was so kind and
so funny. Bernard Lee, who of course played M. I’ve worked with him in a
television play. There were many and I would say the majority of 99.9%
are very lovely people. You always get the one that you don’t see eye to
eye with.
Sam: One final
question. What advice would you give
to actors trying to get into character acting?
Jeremy: Well
character acting is something you just fall into when you get older.
Either you work or you don’t work. You sort of disappear and it gives you
up. I’ve managed to carry on and character acting comes with age. When I
was younger I played all the teenage parts but now I’m playing the older
parts and called an old man. In The Doctors I was called an old
man and I thought “What? I’m not old!” But in that part I was.
So, dear readers,
take a good look at Jeremy Bulloch’s face. Study it. Memorize it. Get
to know what he looks like without the Boba Fett helmet on because, as you
walk through the pop culture journey, you will continue to recognize
Jeremy in productions both past and present. Jeremy Bulloch’s journey
still continues. In 2008 Jeremy appeared in the British programs The
Doctors and Bonekickers, and he will be involved in George
Lucas’ next Star Wars project The Mandalorian Legacy, which
focuses on, of course, Boba Fett. But as you can see, Jeremy’s career
goes far beyond Boba Fett. It’s time to recognize the man behind that
mask.
POP CULTURE
ADDICT NOTE: I’d like to spend a special note of thanks to Dean
Shewring for helping with the research for this interview. Dean’s help
was valuable in helping me with pulling together source material and
information of Jeremy’s career on British television. Thanks Dean for all
your help.
